Why Are There Two Units of Measurement?

You may see your lab results in one of two different units. mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter) is the conventional unit used in the United States and some other countries. mmol/L (millimoles per liter) is the SI unit (International System of Units) and is used in most of the rest of the world, including Canada, the UK, and Europe. This calculator allows you to easily convert between the two.
